Benefits of technology

[0011]The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates content distribution. During operation, the system obtains, at a node in a content delivery network, configuration information for a test of broadcast readiness in the content delivery network from a configuration server in the content delivery network. Next, the system uses the configuration information to configure

Problems solved by technology

However, bandwidth consumed by digital content delivery may interfere with playback of the content and/or other network access on the electronic devices.
In turn, the corporate network may be overburdened by the payloads, resulting in an impaired video experience and/or an inability of business-critical traffic to reach devices in the corporate network.
In addition, content delivery and/or playback issues a

Abstract

The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates content distribution. During operation, the system obtains, at a node in a content delivery network, configuration information for a test of broadcast readiness in the content delivery network from a configuration server in the distributed content delivery network. Next, the system uses the configuration information to configure the node to participate in the test, wherein the test includes using a media delivery application on the node to play content received from the content delivery network without requiring user input to perform the test. During the test, the system uses the node to periodically provide status information associated with the node to a collection server in the content delivery network.
